JDC 2014!

JDC was such a blast! Totally blown away.

Hoho selfie first!

Initially I was quite tired-out because of our intense training sessions that left me physically and mentally drained (the feeling of so much undone homework sucks!!)

And repeatedly landing knee-first on the ground that left this huge blue-black ouchhh. -Unglamorous picture- XD

But yesterday was so much fun!! We were told to be really smiley because of our concept "Fun and laughter" but I didn't even have to try. The vibe from fellow lockers was so powerful and the audience was amazing! I was just smiling and screaming and at the top of my lungs without me knowing!

Took so many selfies in the waiting room because we had 5+ hours to spare :O this is not all haha, rest shall be spammed on Facebook :)

Hehe check out the rose Jocelyn and xq gave me. Nice having my best friends and parents watching my first dance performance :)

Funny convo with Jocelyn after performance.

Jocelyn: Your skin looks good!

Angela: Nah, I put 3kg of makeup so that doesn't count.

Jocelyn: you should wear 3kg of makeup to school everyday!

-lol-

And before the performance in the waiting room everyone was getting really bored so the pro dancers started to cypher!! Cypher means everybody stands in a circle and take turns to go in and dance for awhile. I was like "oh man, shall not go out and embarrass myself among the pros." But Timothy pushed me out!!!! Ahhhh!!!!! Noooo!!!!

That was where creative writing phrases I taught my tutee felt quite applicable to me at that moment.

-A tingling sensation ran down my spine, and I was immobilized with terror.

-My heart pounded at an amazing speed.

-Beads of perspiration formed under my forehead and glistened under the fluorescent light.

TT.

Haha you get the idea. But bobian, with Tim's amazing force, I was flung into the center of the circle and was forced to dance a few scoobots and do a few points before retreating. Actually after it ended I was kinda glad I got pushed out! It's so terrifying yet weirdly fun at the same time. Hahahaha! 

And after that Marti came up with the idea of doing scoobots in a "soul train" down the whole aisle! So almost the whole of soul funky lined up and did consecutive scoobots and scooby doos till we were breathless.

Dancers really have really really high energy level! People I meet in business school are so calm and adult-ish but these people here are crazy, in a good way. :)

Immediately after performance we met back at the waiting room and watched our performance that somebody recorded for us. And we cheered on and on for ourselves lol. Everyone was just over the moon!

To conclude I really enjoyed my first performance with JDC locking segment! Felt slightly regretful that I couldn't do the awesome waacking/popping/fusion segments but this experience in locking itself already overflows, really happy!

National cashflow competition

National cashflow competition took place on Saturday and Jocelyn, Jingqi and I signed up as facilitators! Last time I would have hated going out on Saturdays but it feels really good to get together with friends through events :)

Haha posing with the cashflow board set.

I realize everytime I go out with Jocelyn I take more picture of her than myself. More like she Photobombs every picture haha.

Oh wait, what are the mice doing!

We made this lame joke. "You raise me up, so I can stand on your nose~" (to look at cheese =.=)

Facilitating cashflow competition is really mad! The first 3 rounds were still okay because everyone was relatively chill. But I had to explain the instructions slowly to those who were playing for the first few times. Rare sighting of people competing without knowing anything about the game hah. In any case, the introvert in me was getting exhausted hahaha.

But final round was insane!!! I would just wait for my co-facilitator to shout the paychecks I needed to give out and fling the money at the participant 0.0 no choice, by the time I flung the money there would already be 3 more people shouting for paycheck. TT

At last, a guy that was in jingqi's group on facilitator' training day won the first prize! MacBook Air! TT when we saw that we wished that we were the ones competing instead haha. There's always next year!!! MacBook Air be mine!! Haha

Jamming!

Finally I'm done with Accounting and Financial Management mid-terms! Can finally take a small breather from mugging. Even after intense studying I still found the paper quite hard :( 

Jq booked her hall's cultural room to practice on the piano for her recital that would be happening tomorrow. She, as always, was non-surprisingly chill about performing 0.o

After awhile we were joined by Thomas the piano genius who could play songs by ear (!!!). Wow

In the end we jammed and sang all the songs of frozen :) "let the storm rage ONNNNNNNNNNNNN!" Hahaha. 

After that Thomas solo-ed a little and jq and I started to pop along with the beat LOL

And pretended we won a lot of trophies :P

I suddenly remembered how much I used to enjoy jamming with my guitar ensemble friends! Haven't done it since I graduated from GE around 2 years back :( we just needed Jialing the guitar pro to be on the guitar and the rest of us would sing at the top of our lungs. Just like that, hours would fly by without us knowing.

I love it!! It's so therapeutic and stress relieving!

Recently I was asking myself what are things I enjoy in life (that is like 80 percent filled with school work/procrastinating school work), and I didn't know. But now I think I know the answer ^_^

Challenging life

Random blogspirtion (blogging inspiration)- I think uni kids have challenging lives.

I, for one, have something to be stressed about every moment since I entered sem 2 in nbs. Does this only apply to me (since I have high neuroticism)? 

These are what I'm stressed about: presentations (I think I have a presentation almost once a week), piano playing for church, tuition materials for my tutee, my own incomplete work, projects (accompanied by so many project meetings that really take up a lot of time) and spending enough time with my family and friends :(

I haven't even passed zx and bong the beef noodles that I bought for them from Taiwan like 1.5 months ago...

On Friday when my comms presentation ended, I heaved a sigh of relief (and quickly chucked everything I memorized out the window) but then quickly remember that I was playing piano for church on Sunday and was barely ready yet. Felt worried the whole of Saturday through my cousin's beautiful wedding, and couldn't even go for dance event with BFF at night. 

And now since piano has ended, I heave another sigh of relief. Was totally trembling just now! Not sure if it was my nerves or the air con... Luckily I asked my mum and she said the mistake I made wasn't obvious. 明明 when I practiced the piece it was okay. Oh well, shall try and try again! And uncle BH said that I was "steady". Always shocking to hear compliments >< when can I believe in myself?

The relief proved to be temporal because yet again I am reminded that recess week is here and I have a thousand things to catch up on. 

Mid terms haven't started but I'm craving for the holiday already. Haha but for now, imma watch 2 episodes of wgm while eating the Mac breakfast I just bought ^_^
